Signing up for YouTrip happens entirely in the app. You download it, verify who you are with Singpass, and that’s basically it. Your virtual card is ready the moment you’re approved, so you can start spending while the physical card makes its way to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What You Need Before You Sign Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    You need three things: a Singapore mobile number, an email address, and a way to prove your identity<\/strong>. For most people, that’s Singpass, which pulls your details in automatically. Everything happens inside the app, so there’s nothing to print, sign, or post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Who Can Sign Up (Age and Eligibility)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Anyone aged 15 and above<\/strong> in Singapore with a valid NRIC or FIN<\/strong> can apply. There’s no income requirement and no minimum balance to keep. Singaporeans, PRs, and foreigners legally residing here are all eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    If you’re signing up for your kids, that’s a separate product. YouTrip Family gives children their own card under a parent’s account, and it works a little differently from the standard sign-up below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
